BNSF Automotive: Thanksgiving 2024 Operating Plan

Date
Nov 7, 2024

TRAIN SERVICE
This year, BNSF will observe the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29. BNSF will operate automotive trains over the holiday and our automotive facilities will remain fully staffed and open for haulaway during normal scheduled hours. Connecting carriers who have reduced operations for the holiday may cause delays on interline traffic. Due to lighter traffic volumes over the holiday, we anticipate some extending of our service schedules as we consolidate volumes to fill trains. We expect shipments arriving from Wednesday, November 27, through Monday, December 2, may experience delays of up to 48 hours.
